Earthquakes in Grindavík, Iceland, including the golf course, possibly resulting in a volcanic eruption.

A great honor to receive a private audience with the President of Iceland, with our CEO Vigdís Gunnarsdóttir.

Glad to share our new paper discovering a new root disease on fine fescue. The patches start off like summer patch until they become way too big. apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PD…… Let me know/send me a sample if you see similar symptoms on fine fescues.

I'll be in Paris on 8-9 August and at the women's Olympic golf competition at Golf National on 9 August. Anyone else going to be there? Send me a DM! #Golf #Olympics #GolfNational #Paris2024 #Turf #OlympicGames

Atmosphere at #OlympicGolf at #LeGolfNational is amazing. Everyone is so happy, helpful and smiling. Here we exit the venue after today’s 3rd round of the women’s competition. The course, organizers, staff and volunteers were fantastic. Unforgettable. #Paris2024 #OlympicGames

Happy New Year from Reykjavik. On New Year’s Eve alone, the people of Iceland fire up 600-700 tonnes of fireworks, almost 2 kg or 4 lbs per person, roughly four times more than in the USA. #HappyNewYear2025 #fireworks

Their Silfurnesvöllur (or Silverness if it were in Scotland) was the place of my very first golf course design assignment, 24 years ago. Pictured is the par-3 5th hole that we built new in that rerouting and expansion project. View from tee at 100 yards. Sea and glaciers beyond.

2024 design highlight was the soft opening of 5 new holes at Golfklúbbur Selfoss in Iceland. Expansion from 9 to 18, phase 1 of 2. Here is the new, short par-4 7th. Carry Ölfusá river to reach the green or get best angle. Bailing out too far inland puts lava outcrop in play. #gosgolf

What is root shear? And why do we protect the greens when there is a possibility of it. North Wilts GC usga.org/content/usga/h…

The soft-opened new holes 11-12 at Golfklúbbur Selfoss will be 15-16 in the final 18 hole layout 2-3 years from now. These offer the third and last visit to the river banks. 11/15 is a par-5 with a reverse Road Hole green that runs the length of a sand beach. 12/16 is a Diet Redan.

Full tank. Empty bank. Thankfully I visit the gas station less since we have a plug-in hybrid SUV, and electricity here is still relatively cheap. But common, a cool 20 thousand Icelandic to fill her up. A gallon of diesel here costs me just under 9 USD. #oligopoly

Often, a designer must resist the urge to overdecorate or crowd a golf hole with artificial hazards. Here is a green redesign for a 9-holer in Dalvík, North Iceland. Set in the frame of a dyke from 1400s. A subtle interplay of a false front, tier and backstop makes at least a
